Hey -- is anyone else a little nervous about this? This could make it real easy for virus writers and hackers to get into the Microsoft systems! The chunks of code -- riddled with hidden notes and profanity -- were posted on numerous file-sharing networks Friday. And message boards buzzed with anti-Microsoft comments, including "I hope they hack the hell out of it" and "I'm so glad I have a Mac."

My take is that inorder to get access to the code the person has to be knowledgable and has deliberatly put out the code with the most likely or most easily attacked exploits.
I am sure that soon someone will put out an attack based on this code.
This could lead to some bad times for MS users.
I think the current massivly monoculture business networks are in for real problems.
As for me I am three firewalls away from the net with a Linux machine.
I am afraid for my Pocket PC though which is not running Linux.
This could make it real easy for virus writers and hackers to get into the Microsoft systems!
